MO isn't installing mods

[Notable_Builder_O_The_Bob]

it all started by me 'installing' some mods into skyrim using MO while I still had some installed from NMM (idk if any of this is relevant) bet then I uninstalled all mods I had installed with NMM and reinstalled them only with MO because I thought that it wasn't working properly because I used NMM and MO for mods... then I tried to play skyrim but when I did no mods loaded... so I checked my load order as displayed by the skyrim launcher and NMM and I saw no mods in there so now I'm here and very confused.   

 

help me, please O' lords of the modding 

ps. I have a lot of "unmanaged" files from the steam workshop if that is relevant.

MO uses a virtual file system, so Skyrim or SKSE must be launched through MO for the installed mods to have effect.

Or Nebulous112 even. Dragonborn is just a member title. Like yours is Prisoner.
